Hello Friends of the Westerly Creek Connection!

 

The final report for the "Westerly Creek Major Drainageway Planning Update" is targeted for completion in Summer 2009.  Once finalized, the report will be analyzed by Denver and Aurora city agencies.

 

The community input garnered at our June public information meeting was invaluable.  Alternative #4, the "component" alternative, has the support of both WCC and Kiowa Engineering.  WCC believes that this design alternative is the most "green" and daylights the most water as it travels through the drainage system.  Thanks to all who attended and voiced your opinion.  

Please contact the WCC team at westerlycreek@gmail.com.  Let us know your interests, so we can involve you in a meaningful way!

Westerly Creek Connection (WCC), a citizen advocacy group, was formed in 2008.  This non-profit grassroots organization seeks to facilitate the development of a greenway along Westerly Creek, linking the heavily urbanized areas along the Denver-Aurora border, including the Lowry and Stapleton neighborhoods. 

 

The redevelopment of 9 blocks of green space along the Westerly Creek will incorporate existing parks and an open water channel.  Ultimately, this urban greenway can connect communities throughout the metro area, from the Highline Canal in the south to the Sand Creek Regional Greenway in the north.
